Bitter

I ate a bite of bitter chocolate. Only I could survive. The biting wasteland. Feeling some feeling. Like bitterness. I swallowed that. I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed. The sweet flower. Which smells strange. Like how chocolate tastes. Horrible. Can’t remember why. I ate a bite of cake. I was bitter for no reason at all. I feel unsettled sometimes. Brushing my teeth. So I can escape. Eating more types of food. Which have different textures. But turned horrible against me. I ate a bite of some sort of food. There’s no way to know. What is candy, or pasta, or something evil. Take a bite. Throw it in the trash. Take a bite. They told me to. Bitter. That’s all we have. I ate a bite of the monster’s skin. He howled and smiled. I cried and hoped. That there is more. The monsters run away for now. But the taste remains.
